Clear evidence that Big Food wants to trick you.

I read about this somewhere a few months ago, but this is the first time I’ve actually seen the horrifying sight in real life.

Potato chips prominently displayed in the produce section.  

Apparently, processed food companies are trying to work their products into the fresh/unprocessed food section of grocery stores to align them with healthier alternatives and boost sales.    

Normally, (and I’m sure this is the case for many), I never travel down the chips aisle, but now here they are, right in the middle of two weekly staples:  avocados and tomatoes.  Perhaps a shopper was picking up some tomatoes for salad, then saw the chips, and thought… Mmm chips and guac!   Delicious and totally fine.. except when a company is manipulating you when you’re not even aware.  

Nothing makes me angrier.  So BEWARE!  Don’t let Big Food get a hand on your grocery list.  Get that junk out of my produce aisle.
